Walking 7-Layer Mexican Dip
Without question, 7-Layer Mexican Dip will be included in our Game Day appetizer spread.
While the guest list will be dramatically reduced, the enthusiasm will remain high and the food options plentiful.
As we started to kick around new and old-favorite recipe ideas for Sunday’s big game, we took a moment to reflect.
We’re likely not to pack our living room with dozens of screaming fans any time soon.
How we scale, prepare and serve dishes has and will continue to change.
So for those of you folks like us who love to cook and entertain….we’re in this together.
That’s when we decided to take our beloved dip and turn it into individually portioned Walking 7-Layer Mexican Dip!
Remember Walking Tacos served in single-serving bags of chips?!
Which reminds me… have you seen the pictures on social media of Jarcuterie?!! Mini mason jars filled with skewers of meats and cheeses, fruits and veggies, savory and sweet.
Simply Brilliant!
Our Walking 7-Layer Mexican Dip goes like this:
- Begin with 12 wide-mouth 8 ounce mason jars.
- Layer 1: Refried Beans (the smooth restaurant style works best) piped into the bottom of each jar.
- Layer 2: Guacamole
- Layer 3: Sour Cream & Cream Cheese with Taco Seasoning (also in piping bag).
- Layer 4: Shredded Cheese
- Layer 5: Diced Tomatoes
- Layer 6: Sliced Black Olives
- Layer 7: Sliced Scallions
Recipe Note: cover each jar and refrigerate until ready to serve. Preferably serve within 24 hours but will keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Best served with Tostitos or Fritos SCOOPS.
If you have any leftover fixings grab yourself a small bowl and layer away, there should be no wasted ingredients.
